Abstract

BACKGROUND: Visio-spatial intelligence (VSI) skills, including abilities such as spatial awareness, visual processing, and motor coordination, are crucial for athletic performance, particularly in combat sports such as boxing. Amateur boxers require efficient visio-spatial skills (VSS) to quickly process visual information, track opponents' movements, and execute precise techniques. However, the extent to which amateur boxing experience enhances VSS remains unclear. This study compared the VSI skills of amateur boxers to those of non-athletes.
